Lauren Conrad, Co-Founder of The Little Market: "We’re all about collaboration. Women are stronger together, and when you cross promote and get involved and work on things together, it only makes us all better." (Photo via Create & Cultivate/Simon G. Jewelry Green Room)

Nina Dobrev, Actress, Activist, and Reebok x Les Mills Ambassador: "My best piece of advice is to take a chill pill with the filters. If you’re going to meet someone, you’re going to want them to meet you — not a fake you." (Photo via Becki Smith/Smith House Photo)

Jessamyn Stanley, Yoga Teacher, Body Positivity Advocate, Author of Every Body Yoga: Let Go of Fear, Get on the Mat, Love Your Body: "My advice for millennial women in 2018 is to say eff all the rules you thought existed. Donald Trump is the President. Anything goes. Do what you do. Love who you are. That’s the only plan." (Photo via Jessica Bordner Photography)

Tess Holliday, Founder of Eff Your Beauty Standards, Author of The Not So Subtle Art of Being a Fat Girl: Loving the Skin You’re In: "My best piece of advice would be to be yourself and be authentic. Do something that you love, and don’t be afraid to not do what you love. Just go for it!" (Photo via Jessica Bordner Photography)

Justina Blakeney, Founder of Jungalow, Author of The New Bohemians: "My best advice is to surround yourself with beautiful people. When I say beautiful, I mean on the inside — I’m talking about people that light you up. It is so important." (Photo via Jessica Bordner Photography)

Jaclyn Johnson, Founder and CEO of Create & Cultivate, Author of Work Party: "My best piece of advice is whatever you think you should charge, you should probably triple it." (Photo via Jessica Bordner Photography)

Jen Gotch, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of ban.do: "My best piece of advice is to find a way to thoughtfully introduce emotions into the workplace. I feel like we all need to move business in that direction, and it’s a great place to start." (Photo via Jessica Bordner Photography)

Hannah Skvarla, Co-Founder of The Little Market: "My best advice is to find something you're passionate about and figure out how to get involved." (Photo via Create & Cultivate/Simon G. Jewelry Green Room)

Allison Statter, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Blended Strategy Group: "The best advice is to follow your gut and follow your instinct. Just do what you think is best for you. Take advice when you can get it!" (Photo via Create & Cultivate/Simon G. Jewelry Green Room)

Jacey Duprie, Editor of Damsel in Dior: "My number one piece of advice for millennial women is to have self compassion. We are not perfect. We cannot do it all, so take good care of yourselves." (Photo via Stefanie Keenan/Getty)

Holly Thaggard, Founder and CEO of Supergoop!: "My best piece of advice is to be okay with failure. I want women to realize that failure is truly a gift, and time is on your side." (Photo via Supergoop!)

Patrice Croci, VP Brand Marketing of Express: “My advice is to understand that work and life are blurring. Work is life, life is work, and you need to figure out what your definition is, and own it." (Photo via Express)

Teresa Lo, Senior Director, E-Commerce and Marketing of Biossance: “My best advice is to persist. Don’t give up. There will always be naysayers. There will always be hurdles and challenges, but think of all of those as learning experiences that get you to the next place.” (Photo via Biossance)
